2022 Term 3 - Week 7 & 8
/👋 LIVE from the HIVE … 👋
We’re considering the introduction (in 2023) of additional paid afternoon activities, delivered on site, by external providers, and signed up for a term. The idea is to give the kids with the busiest parents chance to experience some of the extra-curricular opportunities out there. Our parent survey will help us work out whether this is something that families would find helpful, and which activities would be most popular… It’ll only take 2 mins to complete and will help us better tailor our offering to you…
Huge thanks to the 50+ of you that have already responded: the more info we gather the better we can plan!
👋 We say goodbye to ALFIE, who heads back to the UK to start his degree in Social Work. Bye Alfie, the seniors will miss you! 👋
ACTIVITY CLUBS were busy with the likes of DIY pompoms, basketball, button mobiles, sliding doors, gymnastics, hama beads, DIY earrings, hockey, father’s day gifts, yoga and much more… it’s been a JAM-PACKED fortnight!
And to all the DADS & OTHER LADS out there who act as positive role models for our young’uns - we thank you and salute you. Hope you had a treat or two on Sunday 4th 🥰 🥰
🏖️ Holiday Program - NOW OPEN!! 🏖️
We’re super excited for HP bookings to be open. We welcome back the split program, with most days tailored for age groups. The age split-point is varied on a couple of days, so please check carefully that you book into the right session. It’s an AWESOME program, and we have fingers firmly crossed for Covid and weather to give us a break so the kids get the full benefit of all Sydney’s fantastic planning! 👏
🌱🥕 Seeking GARDENING VOLUNTEERS ☝️👀
We’re looking for parent volunteers for an hour (4-5pm), once or twice a week to help the kids tend the school’s veggie gardens, learn about plants and the origins of certain foods and - of course - grow lots of yummy ingredients for Hive and Canteen to use!
It’s a very low-key commitment, so if you have green fingers or thumbs and a bit of spare time, please contact Sydney - it’ll be fun, rewarding and totally flexible…
🐝 BEE OF THE WEEK 🐝
…is our very own NATE! We’re blown away by the enthusiasm and energy that he brings with him every single day. And so are the kids!
The photo right, is a model of Nate made by one of the kids in his craft group this week.
Nate, we’re also loving the stories you’re weaving with the kids every day at the 4pm meeting - so many smiles!
💡 PARENT REMINDERS 🤔
If you’ve borrowed Hive spare clothes - please remember to wash and return them. We’ve almost run out of warm layers to lend out!
We love this montage of the kids ⬆️ trying to copy Alfie’s breakdance moves… ⬇️ 🤣 🤣 🤣
